"It's times like this I wish I still had my scarf.", The Doctor, "Time-Flight" I like this story - so I have liked every story this season. But this is not a universal opinion - some Who fan polls rate it fourth worst Who story ever. Yes, the sets are a bit too studio-ish but I don't think they're too bad. And the Plasmaton Guards? Well, they are not the most swift-moving menace ever conceived. Bah! - I like it anyway. And it's not just having Concorde in the show. As you highlighted at the end of the "Earthshock" reaction, I also appreciate that they show the TARDIS crew coping with the shock of the events of the previous story. And so they decide to go somewhere for a special treat ... "All the wonders of Victorian science and technology.", "Well, the TARDIS should feel at home.", The Doctor and Tegan, "Time-Flight" That didn't work out! "This thing is smaller on the inside than it is on the outside.", The Doctor (about Concorde), "Time-Flight" That's really sweet - Concorde was small inside. I flew on Concorde once (from New York to Heathrow) as a special treat to myself. BTW: British Airways were given a copy of the Doctor Who script before filming in case they had any comments. And some names in the script were changed because there were BA employees that had the original character names. "And do send my regards to Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart. Unless, of course, he's a General by now.", The Doctor, "Time-Flight" We always love a Brig reference! "I wish I'd known about that when we were on Castrovalva.", Nyssa, "Time-Flight" And I like the callback to a tiny event at the start of the season. And nice sideways acting by Peter. "That's why this tree doth continue to be since observed by yours faithfully, God.", The Doctor, "Time-Flight" I present the referenced limericks: There once was a man who said "God Must think it exceedingly odd If he finds that this tree Should continue to be When there's no one about in the Quad." Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd; I am always about in the Quad. And that's why the tree Will continue to be Since observed by, yours faithfully, God. "You mock me, Doctor, but do not doubt that I can summon furies and cacodaemons, a company of cherubim or Lucifer himself.", Kalid, "Time-Flight" The Master is back! And hidden in the credits by the usual trick: "Leon Ny Taiy" = "Tony Ainley". In the same way they hid the death of Adric last story with his cameo allowing him to be in the cast list of this story.

loved your reaction to UNIT and the Brigadier getting a mention, hard to believe we haven't seen the Brig since Terror of the Zygons at the start of Baker's second season
